I have OSX 10.7 DP4 running on a Gigabyte motherboard and a Core i7 rather nicely. So far any anti-Hackintosh provision is either not added or woefully nonfunctional. Virtualization? Apple has only recently begun allowing OSX virtualization in any form. They still do not offer ANY VM images that I'm aware of.
Hypocrite? You're so funny! You use words that sound menacing, while not realizing that they actually have meanings, which you ignore!
You're so funny! I loved your work in Hot Shots! Part Deux!
All of the "custom" browsers for iOS have been marked 17+, since before I got my iPad, at least. The "logic" in App Store management is that you can use the browser to visit pr0n sites, so it's pr0n-enabled.
Dumb, but not new.
Oh, I'm a heavy user, for certain, and I don't feel the battery degradation is anything but normal. Paying and shipping, and getting back a non-identical unit does sound like a non-fun experience. Not unmerited, not unreasonable, but not looking forward to it, either.
Had mine a few days after launch. The current hardware was replacement #2, after a charger malfunction incident. Late summer, I'd say. about 6-8 months in, now.
As someone who actually owns the device in question, I can tell you that my iPad's battery has degraded noticeably since last year. Not enough that I'm alarmed, but enough that it's easily noted. For actual numbers, I took my iPad out and about on 3G for over 8 hours, nearly nine when I first got it. Today it dropped from 100% to 50% between 10AM and 1PM. I'm going to do the deep-cycle recalibration tonight, it's been more than a month since I did it last, but it seems to mitigate the issue, not correct it. In 3-4 years, this iPad will be effectively AC-only, and those batteries are a chore to replace.
Indeed. I was born in Florida, but my SSN geolocates to Tennessee (ugh), because that's where we were living when my parents finally overcame their laziness and applied for my SSN.
Incorrect. 1440p = double 720p. 2560*1440.
I believe you're thinking of 4:3 1080p, which was 1440*1080. When referring to HD resolutions by their single number nicknames, it's always the vertical resolution that is named.
Both EA and Crytek have been whining for some time about how the PC is no longer viable as a gaming platform, and about how they need to drop it and focus on consoles. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but this could be an inside job. EA reviewed the gold master, realized it was another plotless tech demo like the first one and therefore unlikely to sell in great numbers, and decided to sacrifice Crysis 2 on the altar of public opinion, to help all their poor sheep consumers realize that "PC = EVIL".
I hope I'm totally talking out my ass, but it sounds like 'logic' we've seen from EA before.
I wouldn't care. Pull the Kindle app, it just makes it mildly less convenient for me. My current workflows look like this:
1. At home, new book I want? Buy from Amazon, deliver to Kindle for PC on my laptop, decrypt, import into Calibre.
2. Travelling, new book? Buy from Amazon, read in Kindle app, decrypt/Calibre/etc when I get home.
3. Travelling, old book? See #1.
Removing the Kindle app would just remove option #2, which would limit my impulse purchasing but have little to no serious impact.
My post-Calibre workflow is essentially nonexistent. I either convert/export ePub from Calibre, and it automagically links to iTunes and populates iBooks, or I plug in some other eBook reader and output/convert to some other format.
Calibre makes me free from Apple's lock-in. I can switch down to my Kindle 2 or over to a Nook Color or any other reader I want, with nearly 0 muss or fuss. FU APPLE.:)
So once again we have an article where two attributes are noted, and one is assumed to cause the other because it's currently fashionable.
Would it not be equally valid to assume that mentally ill people, ill from some unrelated cause, find the escapism of video gaming alluring? Maybe because most video games I've played don't attempt to determine if you're mentally ill, nor do they avoid or ostracize you for thinking oddly?
Far better than the AT&T bait and switch with iPad plans... remember that? Changed before the device was even available for a full month. Still, this is the fairest cap I've seen a wireless provider implement so far. Throttling users at their limit actually makes much more sense than cutting them off cold. Unless you are one of the people who thought cellular service would be able to truly replace landline service, (having no concept of the very finite bandwidth available via RF) 5GB is a lot of data....and if you run into it by accident, you can still use your service for less bandwidth-intensive things like email, light web access, or reloading your Virgin Mobile account.
I dunno, I've still got my AT&T 29.99$/month unlimited data. I occasionally horse around and blow way past 5GB/month just to feel I'm getting my money's worth, too. It would be bait and switch if they pulled it from me, not just because they're no longer offering it to you.
Send me, a half dozen inflatable greenhouses, enough plants to eat/breathe from, and some quonset-type buriable shelters. I'll be standing by for any other stuff you'd like done, can get a lot more science done than a rover, and will be happy to have my paycheck handed over to my wife and kids here.
Of course, if you end up sending along my wife and kids, and some other folks, I'll plant a flag, declare independence, and do my best to sieze the planet as soon as I'm self-sufficient.
The satire, Akom founder and president Nelson Shin argued, gave the impression that Asian artists slave away in subpar sweatshops when they actually animate much of The Simpsons every week in high-tech sweatshops in downtown Seoul.
Windows 7 32bit does not and likely will not support UEFI or GPT. MS feels these features are Enterprise-only, and All Enterprises Everywhere should be running x64.
That certainly sounds familiar. It's most likely the newest variant. There have been easily a dozen major updates of Antivirus XP, they've been nasty to remove.
It *is* possible to remove it, though, and even without reinstall. The real trick is getting a wedge under it to start with, because it's very tenacious until then.
You don't want an actual virus. Viruses are becoming less common, they are now the delivery vector more than anything. Most of my badware experience in the last year or three has been exploits, generally server-hosted and browser-targetting. Malware is the payload and payday, that's where the action is. Malware is also typically the user-facing component as well.
Go find Antivirus 2009, or the most recent respin of that godawful thing. It's fairly straightforward to remove, fairly obvious when it's present, and just aggressive enough against removal operations to be realistic. It won't self-replicate and spread, but it will give you a removable and obvious "infection".

Yeah, I'll pass watching something named "Siffie".
Normally I'd mock you, but I, too, misread the title as "finding more ringworlds" and wondered when we had found the first.

No, no, "I'll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic, see if I can track an IP address".

FTFY (even though I swore I'd never use that acronym).
I'm guessing, but I'd imagine that most cell providers would quash or delete the malformed messages, or at least mangle them into a non-crashing form.

I swear to Yog-Sothoth, when I read, I saw this:

You can, but it starts a new billing cycle at the time of change. New 30 days, new limit, new charge.
So make sure you get close to the 200MB mark before "upgrading".

P.S. Going over limit on unlimited doesn't cut you off, they just send you an email advising you to scale back or risk getting dumped.
